Stilly: These are house plants!
Guest: you are correct and I realized after that this is not a good thing to do; we are supposed to be boycotting the HD plant dept. I was just desperate for some flowers; Guess I have been slapped down for shopping at HD!   

Did manage 2 hours of potting which went by really fast. I stopped when shoulders began to tire. Then I made a nice ratatouille with chicken. With any luck R will come home before midnight. I have learned to only cook foods that will keep/season on the stove/ still be fine tomorrow - or the next day. I will eat some when next I get hungry- before midnight!
